...was in 2013.
A 20-10 win for the Bengals. We out-rushed the Steelers 127 to 44 that day. Dalton threw for 280 with a TD and no turnovers. Our defense held Pig Ben to a 73.1 passer rating. IMO, this is the type of game we need to see to get a W.
In 29 games against the Steelers under Murv, we've only out-rushed the Steelers 6 times. We're 3-3 in those games. Even more telling is that we're 5-3 against the Steelers when we just hold them to under 100 yards rushing. In those games, Ben has a meager 79.6 passer rating, with 8 TDs and 9 INTs. He relies on that run game being there.
So to sum this up, we're 5-3 against the Steelers when we hold them to under 100 yards rushing, and 3-18 when they rush for over 100. I fully expect the Steelers to come out running early. We usually stuff them the first few times, but they always stick with it, and most of the time we wind up wearing out as the game goes on. We rarely have such a commitment to the run. Just something to keep an eye on.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
